The application period for Kincardine's vacant council seat closed Friday afternoon, and nine residents have put their name forward for consideration.
The seat was declared vacant on September 11, after the passing of former Councillor Doug Kennedy.
So far, Christina Bandomir, Christopher Bianco, Kevin Fournier, Melville Scott McPherson, Jason Munro, Carole Robertson, Chandrashekhar Tripathi, Stellina Williams and Scott D. Wilson have put their names forward.
Candidates may withdraw their application until 2 p.m. on Wednesday. The Official List of Candidates will be certified by the Clerk at 4 p.m. that day.
Candidates will then have an opportunity to present their case to council at a special meeting on November 6, starting at 5 p.m. After presentations, council will vote on who to appoint as its newest member, and that person will be sworn in shortly after.
